If the QLogic BIOS banner does not appear, confirm that the adapter is seated properly. If necessary, install the adapter in another available PCIe x8 slot. If the BIOS banner still does not appear, verify that the adapter is compatible with the server. If the adapter is compatible with the server, contact your authorized maintenance provider for instructions on updating the motherboard BIOS.
The message ROM BIOS NOT INSTALLED may appear at the end of the QLogic BIOS banner. This message does not indicate an error, but that the QLogic ROM BIOS has not been enabled to boot from SAN.
No action is required unless the adapter is booting from the SAN. For more information on configuring boot from SAN, refer to “Boot from SAN” on page

Installing Software
The FCoE driver (STOR Miniport) and NIC driver (NDIS Miniport) provide the adapter’s Fibre Channel and Ethernet capabilities, respectively. The adapter driver installation process depends on the Microsoft Windows operating system version that is installed on the server and whether the operating system image resides on the server hard drive or on the SAN.
Close any open QConvergeConsole windows before proceeding with the driver installation using the Windows Device Manager interface.
